sent to them by the Bahrain Government. This is a proof to
what 1 referred to before. Your Honour, I am sorry for the
actions taken by the Bahrain Government as I do not imow on
what grounds the Bahrain Government did so. As I wrote to
you before, tne Bahrain Government prohibited goods and
boats from going to Qatar and did what may be expressed as
estrangement in addition to the continuous supplies sent to
my subjects. I conmunicated to you my protest against this.
The estrangement is still going on though I do not see that
there is anything which may call for it. 1 have written to
the Honourable the Political Besident about this matter
communicating to him my protest because I want to know the
reason for this attitude of the Bahrain Government towards
me and the estrangement carried out in spite of the
friendship existing between me and them. It is obvious
that it is not permissible that the situation should continue
in this obscurity and vagueness and there should remain
no mistake in this matter because prohibition is a tact and
there is no ambiguity and difficulty about it. And I do not
know whether the Bahrain Government will continue this
estrangement so that I may be aware for my own work. I should
be grateful and thankful to you if you would kindly let me
have a clear and early reply about this.
Usual Ending.
